Howard Webb could be called into action during government talks

HOWARD WEBB will be an appropriate person to have at the table when Prime Minister David Cameron and Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt call football to task for slipping standards recently in the fight against discrimination.

He is part of the Premier League delegation who will sit for 90 minutes with the FA, Football League, LMA and PFA to agree with government what specifically needs to be done to combat racism and homophobia in the sport.

With each body having their own initiatives, perhaps a world-class referee will be needed to make sure everybody is on the same side.
